Plants! AC w/ J! 7.24.26

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:01 pm  

Our power went out from around 6:30 PM till about 11:30 PM last night. That’s not zesty. PEK and I went out to get chocolate frosties to eat by candlelight.

I copied the information from my old AC Unit. I filled out a form about getting estimates on replacing a similar unit.

Watered my downstairs plants.

OYB!

Thunderstorms blew through. Heavy rain for a few minutes.

Got some new reading glasses.

Jessi and I put in a 10,000 BTU air conditioner for our living room. I had to get the window unstuck first. I used a whammy bar and got it to come loose.

I unpacked the AC unit. Took out the foam and sides first.

This window should work well.

Jessi is great at reading directions. I’m great at getting it done fast.

Instillation.

I reinstalled a couple of screws I took out getting the window unstuck.

I think we did a good job. We had to add a board under the unit to get it slightly higher. It’s important that the unit drains properly.

I learned some terms about windows.

Another day, another happy neuron.

Not too hot today for our Safari to Six Flags.

Last night, we had gone through the plan of what rides were acceptable. They were able to change their minds if they saw something they thought they’d like. This spinning one they decided not to go on.

Six Flags is a big place. We covered more than three miles in the park.

Our first ride was this animatronic monster underground adventure. I think P was pretty scared. I was holding her pretty tightly. Making fun of the monsters, trying to take the scary stuff away. These weren’t the scary ones.

My favorite ride was the girls riding this one and me riding the bench.

I liked this merry go round.

I was shocked by this near life-size sculpture. Nip! I wonder how many of the hundreds of thousands of people who rode this noticed it.

About halfway into our trip, the girls decide they wanted to check out the water park. We had all our swim gear in the car, but we had to walk about half a mile to get it.

They really enjoyed the water park. Penelope added a new slide to the ones she likes. It made the journey to Six Flags way more worth it The swimming area doubled our time at the park. It took them a while to figure out what to ride.

We ate pizza at Primos on the way out. E wasn’t really hungry. P and I were.

Our best out of three trips there.

Quite a lot of exercise.

Just keep going.

Power cut off for about three hours this evening. Never good. Glad it came back on! Finished the blog.
